FLOWER FIELDS A-BLOOM For more than 60 years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into a spectacu- lar (albeit coordinat- ed) display of natu- ral color and beau- ty. The 50 acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flow- ers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch are in bloom March through May. The fields are a result of over 85 years of floral cultivation that began when Luther Gage settled in the area in the early 1920s and began growing Ranunculus seeds in his fields next to Frank Frazee’s small vegetable farm in South Oceanside. This started a business called “Luther Gage Giant Tecolote Ranunculus bulbs.” The name “tecolote” came from the owls that nested on the property. $7–$14.
WHEN: Ongoing through Sunday, May 14, every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE: The Flower Fields, 5704 Paseo del Norte, Carlsbad.
